Along with the three heads brought back, there was a large pile of top-grade jade.

Qin Yanyang filled two large storage bags with top-grade jade.

In fact, more than just these three people whose heads were brought back had died, but these three were the masterminds. When they saw Qin Yanyang, although terrified, they ordered the accompanying guard team to open fire on Qin Yanyang.

Those guard team members were no longer the robust cultivators from the Military Department of the past. Although they had heard of Qin Yanyang’s might, they didn’t believe one person could be powerful enough to oppose a modern army.

So when they took action, Qin Yanyang showed no mercy and directly showcased her formidable strength as a Core Formation cultivator.

The result was that the three important high-level individuals she had once promoted were beheaded on the spot. Those who attacked Qin Yanyang couldn’t even break her defenses, didn’t have any chance to get near her, and were all reduced to crawling on the ground, trembling, when swept by Qin Yanyang’s Divine Sense.

"Hu Lizhong, re-inscribe the runes on them and reestablish the Gathering Spirit Array," Qin Yanyang said to Hu Lizhong.

Hu Lizhong acted accordingly. Although he only had a basic understanding of formation and rune Tao, the Gathering Spirit Array needed here was fundamental, so he quickly inscribed seven talismans and reactivated the Gathering Spirit Array using the method set by Yang Fei back then.

Soon, everyone felt the room’s spiritual energy concentration increase, with a large amount of spiritual energy swirling around the reactor.

With Hu Lizhong’s mana urging, the blue flame emerging from beneath the reactor was suddenly extremely vigorous, evenly enveloping the reactor.

An hour later, Hu Lizhong’s mana ceased.

He waved his hand, and the lid of the reactor was lifted. A familiar rich aroma wafted over them.

"It’s done!"

Qin Huai’an rejoiced.

Qin Yanyang and the other cultivators also had their eyes shining.

Wang Hu, the Zhao Family, and Sun Miao were dumbfounded by how easily the genetic liquid medicine was refined.

Previously, it would take them a week to refine a batch of genetic liquid medicine. Even then, only less than one percent of the full reactor of genetic fluid would become genetic liquid medicine.

But now, Hu Lizhong managed it in just one hour, and with a conversion rate as high as one-twentieth.

With a wave of Qin Yanyang’s hand, the genetic liquid medicine in the reactor turned into a blue water line and shot into her palm.

In everyone’s view, the water line quickly formed a blue water ball above Qin Yanyang’s palm, holding its shape.

Sun Weimin and other ordinary people were dumbstruck, as if witnessing magic, utterly incomprehensible.

The abilities of cultivators were truly astonishing.

"Well, is there anything different about it?" Qin Huai’an asked Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang observed for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Can’t tell, but there should be no problem."

"The genetic fluid hasn’t changed, right?" Hu Lizhong asked Ning Dongyang and Wang Hu.

Ning Dongyang shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t have changed."

Sun Miao replied resolutely, "No change. Ever since the equipment for synthesizing genetic fluid was repaired years ago, it’s been in use, and the genetic liquid medicine produced over the years has shown no difference in effect from before."

Hu Lizhong said to Qin Yanyang, "Minister, how about I give it a try?"

Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and said, "Your intentions are indeed clear." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hu Lizhong blushed slightly.

Qin Yanyang, however, waved her hand broadly and said to everyone, "Those who see it get a share. Divide the genetic liquid medicine from the first reactor among everyone here."

Sun Weimin’s expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Minister Qin, Brother Yang Fei mentioned before, the genetic liquid medicine is crucial, the most secretive strategic resource on Earth, needing mass storage. Dividing this reactor is a bit too... too..."

He said "too" twice, only to find Wang Hu, Li Jun, and Sun Miao all looking at him with a gloomy gaze, rendering him speechless.

Sun Miao, after all, was from the Sun Family and was even a junior of Sun Weimin, but he now felt a sense of grievance towards Sun Weimin.

This was genetic liquid medicine. Previously, they would try to skim some off after refining, but dared not take too much. Now, with Qin Yanyang personally declaring the genetic liquid medicine would be distributed, the share they could get would be significant. How could Sun Weimin not be resented when he tried to stop it?

Qin Yanyang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Sun, the genetic liquid medicine is primarily for the use of our Earth cultivators. Everyone here is an elite of Earth; distributing some to them is appropriate."

Having said that, she also looked at Sun Miao, Wang Hu, and Li Jun, encouragingly saying, "You three are only a step away from the Innate Realm. By consuming more genetic liquid medicine, perhaps you can soon enter the Innate Realm. If lucky enough to awaken your Spirit Root Talent, in the future, you can engage in cultivation."

The three were greatly encouraged and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Subsequently, Hu Lizhong divided the genetic liquid medicine into special high-strength glass bottles for individual allocation. Everyone received a share, each with a medium bottle ten centimeters high.

Sun Weimin and Ning Dongxu each got a bottle, too.

The accompanying Foundation Establishment cultivators were overjoyed.

During cultivation in White Jade City, this genetic liquid medicine was considered a precious cultivation resource distributed only once every few years. Unexpectedly, just accompanying Qin Yanyang to Yunwu Mountain’s Base fetched them a bottle—it was indeed worthwhile.

"Minister Qin, the original medicinal herbs needed for extracting the genetic fluid are almost depleted," Sun Miao reported to Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang was aware of this and nodded, saying, "I understand. Rest assured, the Southern Domain will send a large quantity of raw medicinal herbs when the time comes."

Qin Huai’an asked, "Is the extraction production line for the genetic fluid fully repaired?"

"It was fixed years ago, continually synthesizing genetic fluid since," Sun Miao responded.

Qin Huai’an looked towards Qin Yanyang and said, "Yanyang, the extraction of genetic fluid is crucial. I think relocating this production line to White Jade City is the safest."

Hu Lizhong and other accompanying Foundation Establishment cultivators voiced their agreement.

Qin Yanyang said, "Hmm, our purpose this time is to inspect the current situation of ordinary people in the world and, most importantly, the production of genetic liquid medicine. Whether it’s the extraction line for genetic fluid or the final synthesis process for genetic liquid medicine, they must be relocated to White Jade City as soon as possible."

Upon hearing about relocating the production line, Sun Miao and the other two were greatly disappointed.

However, they also knew this was beyond their control.

Qin Yanyang said to Sun Weimin and Ning Dongyang, "Gather all the young people practicing martial arts here, and I’ll conduct tests to see if more young people in Earth’s secular world possess the Spirit Root Talent for cultivation over the years."

"Yes."

The two responded with acknowledgment and departed swiftly.

Soon, the martial artists residing in Yunwu Mountain’s Base and nearby areas gathered.

Qin Yanyang took out the Innate Eye Magic Treasure, testing each person’s Spirit Root aptitude.

Although Earth and the Southern Domain had restored peace, who knew if conflict might arise again in the future? To safeguard themselves, Earth’s human strength must be enhanced.
